One of our favorite hikes. The Eagle Creek Trail is always highlighted with a trip to Punch Bowl Falls. Today we decided to hike down to the lower section and were rewarded with an idealic view of the falls.

White Salmon :4th of July

Friends....come in all shapes and sizes
[more pictures]

This weekend we were invited to White Salmon to spend the holiday with friends. White Salmon, Washington sits on a bluff across the Columbia River from Hood River, Oregon. After dark we head to the edge of the bluff to watch the fireworks celebration.

They were spectacular! What a unique view we had. From our view point we sat ABOVE the fireworks display showcased across the river. The very highest displays were eye-level to us.

The next day we all split into three separate groups. We had some taking a mountain bike trail, some heading off down the river white-water kayaking, and some of use headed across the river to explore the Twin Tunnels urban trail that was created along the route of the old Columbia River Highway.

Lily & I decided to do the hike. Joining her on her adventure are her friends, Elby the Labrador and Cooper the Dachshund. Needless to say, they turned quite a few heads.

Today we decided to head down to Portland's Waterfront to visit the fleet in for the Rose Festival. To our surprise and delight, we were also able to see the floral floats from the parade the day before.

The lines were LONGGGGG so neither of us got to tour any of the big naval vessels. But just looking at them was fun. As always, Lily got lots of points and stares and will be turning up in a scrapbook or two or three or..... [read more]

It's a beautiful sunny day, so Lily and I take her Grandma to the coast. First stop, Camp 18, a restaurant/museum at mile marker 18.

Then it's to Cannon Beach for a lunch and a quick romp on the beach before heading down the coast towards Tillamook.

Springtime Snow Shoe

Yes, that date is correct. Here is it APRIL 20th and we headed up the mountain for one last snow shoe.

This was a record year in the area for mountain snow as our pictures today testify. The snow even felt deep under our feet. It was a bit odd to be walking along and seeing parts of trees that were typically way above our head.

Looking DOWN at the top of a stop sign buried deep below where we were standing was almost surreal.

What a wonderful day!

Springtime on Lacamas Trail

Eagle Creek Trail, Columbia River Gorge

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:34:00 +0000

[view slideshow]

This is a favorite trail of ours. Every season paints a new picture. The water is high, so as we walk along the sounds of the river running and water rushing fill the air along with birds singing and the freshness of a Spring yet to come.

Many of the trees have yet to leaf out, so we have views today that we won't see this summer. The moss is in full bloom, giving the trees the look of antlers in velvet.

When the sun begins to peak out filtering through the towering trees, casting mystical shadows along the trail, it is easy to imagine you're transported into another time, another land. If a Hobbit appeared on the trail, you wouldn't be surprised.

Spectacular is too tame of a word for today. It truly took your breath away.

An Afternoon at Cannon Beach

A stunning day with clear blue skies and unseasonably warm temperatures. What a better place to hang than Cannon Beach. It's always a good choice.

Lily had a great time exploring and walking along all the new trees that the winter's storms had deposited on the beach.

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:28:00 +0000

Since our Christmas visit to the mountain was so much fun, we decided to do a repeat on New Year's Day. There was about 4-5 more feet of snow that had fallen during the past week making the scenery even more spectacular than before. A different route was chosen, we went left instead of right at the fork in the road

What a wonderful way to greet the New Year!
